Thanks!"
Another aspect is that the most vitrilic threads tend to be "about the industry" you could shift them to a subforum (but I don't think that is the best plan) - perhaps you could topic-ban some posters from the industry threads? | I would hesitate greatly before taking RPG.net's advice regarding anything that involves the edition war, seeing as how horribly scewed the moderation is there. The problem with topic bans is the old "Who decides who gets to post where?" I'm not saying this to claim anything bad about EN Worlds moderators, mind you ;p, but RPG.net's moderators are very definately scewed regarding the edition war, and the end result has been "anyone is allowed to insult Pathfinder and 3.5 as much as they want, but a ban on anyone who speaks ill of 4e."

I mean, come on, calling forth the power to alter the world from your own center of will? That's not magical in the slightest! Not at all like my wizard's spell "Telepathy!" |
